Parker PV series open loop variable swash plate axial piston pump

Core Overview

The Parker PV Series is an open circuit, variable displacement swash plate axial piston pump manufactured by Parker Hannifin Corporation (USA), featuring high pressure, high efficiency, and high reliability. It covers a displacement range of 16–270 cm³/rev (up to 360 cm³/rev for some models), with a rated pressure of 350 bar and a peak pressure of 420 bar, suitable for heavy-duty applications such as construction machinery, industrial hydraulics, and marine equipment.

I. Product Positioning and Structure

  • Type: Open circuit, variable displacement swash plate axial piston pump with 9-piston design, featuring low flow pulsation.
  • Core Design: Displacement adjustment is achieved by changing the swash plate angle; the cylinder block is optimized by finite element analysis, ensuring compact structure and high strength.
  • Installation Standard: Complies with SAE and VDMA-24560 standards, supporting metric/SAE 4-hole flanges with strong interchangeability.
  • Through-shaft Drive: Can be configured as single, double or multi-unit combinations to meet complex system requirements.
